Canon BJ-200ex manual Chapter Using the Operator Panel, Feeding Paper

Chapter 5

Using the Operator Panel

This chapter provides information on using the operator panel located on the top of your printer. You can control basic printer operations and mechanics through the operator panel. The indicator lights reflect the currnet status and modes of the printer.

Most software applications, such as word processing, spreadsheet, and database programs, automatically handle the printer control operations. For example, your word processing program tells the printer what typeface to use, when to load a sheet of paper or when to perform a line feed.

If, for some reason, your application program does not perform these basic functions, you can control them using the printer's operator panel. You can also select specific printer functions, such as print mode selection and print head cleaning.

Any setting you make with your softare application override settings mad with the operator panel.

In addition to the operations described in this chapter, you use the operator panel to turn the printer on and off (as described in Chapter 2, Setting Up the Printer) and to pause the printer (as described in Chapter 3, Using the Printer.)

Feeding Paper

When the printer is off-line, you can use the LF/FF button to advance the paper in the printer. You can perform a line feed or a form feed, or you can eject a sheet of paper.
